My first mod, I call it the Karma Box

**KarrMcDebt** · 01-15-2010, 12:23 PM

Just finished my first, (very basic) box mod.

I scrounged up a Licorice Tin (Sweeden), a momentary switch, a locking on/off switch, a cellphone battery (using the busted cell phone to charge it), 1/4" C clip, a piece of slot cover from the back of a PC, and some stick on rubber insulation.

I had two of these obsolete phones, one totaly dead, one works but the screen is dead.

I removed the spring loaded terminals for the battery from the dead one and tossed the phone.
Drilled a hole in the top and one on the side (sized for the atty and the momentary button)

Put the 510 atty through the top hole and secured in place with a 1/4" C clip. (may need a thin metal washer to make the atty tight against the tin. Since the ground passes through the metal tin, the atty needs to make solid contact against it.)

Soldered wires to the spring loaded battery connectors and mounted at the bottom of the tin.

Placed the battery into position then trimmed down the Slot cover from the PC so that it presses the battery into the terminals.

Soldered the ground to the tin, soldered the positive to the master switch, then the momentary switch. Secured the Momentary switch to the hole in the side of the tin. The end of the positive wire just slipps into the center hole on the atty.

NOTE: There is stick on rubber between the tin and the battery as well as between the tin and the battery terminals. You can see a piece of it stuck to the "door". This is to prevent any positive leads from coming in contact with the case.

Pretty basic, but the battery definately lasts longer than stock 510's, (haven't run it down yet, been using it off and on the last 8 hrs.)

Nice. I'll take one

I just looked and the cell phone I have is from walmart. Prepaid Verizon Samsung. Walmart sells them for $15. Plus you get a free $10 aircard. The battery is also 3.7v.

SO.. Buy the phone from walmart for $15. Sell the $10 aircard for $7. Sell the phone (to people who broke theirs like me for $8(CHEAP for a cell phone) and now you have unlimited 3.7v batts.

Hell if you make a mod that takes that battery I might seriously buy it from you. I could definitely use one. And you can tear apart one of the phones and get the adapter from it, and use the USB cable to recharge your ecig without even removing battery.

Good idea with cellphone batt. Def try the walmart one.
